LAMP-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,122, dated.v August 23, 1904,

' Application filed June 8, 1904. Serial No. 211,614. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD D. HAMILTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vancouver, in the county of Clarke and State of Washington, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to lamp-brackets, and has for its object abracket which shall be simple in construction and which will securely hold the lamp.

Improved details in the construction and arrangement of the various parts of the inven-,- tion will be apparent from the detailed description hereinafter and the appended claim, reference being had to the annexed drawing forming part hereof, in Which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the bracket, and Fig. 2 a plan view thereof.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 4 denotes the stem of a bracket whereby it is fastened to a wall by staples or in any other suitable manner. The bracket is made of two or more pieces of stout spring-wire, which are doubled and twisted, as shown,'to form a rigid stern. One of the wires is bent upwardly, as at 5, to formv a support for a reflector. At the upper end of the stem 4 the wires separate and extend at right angles to the stem and are bent to form a loop 6. At the outer end of the same the wires cross and are bent to form another loop 7, at the outer end of which the Wires cross again and are formed into aloop 8, which receives the lamp-stem, the bowl resting on the ring of the loop, as shown. The outer ends of the wires are not united, so that when the loop 7 is grasped and its sides pressed together the sides of the loop 8 are spread open to permit the lamp-stem to be placed therebetween. The loop 6 forms a spring, so that when the loop 7 is released the loop 8 closes up tightly and grasps the lampstem, the bowl resting in and on the loop 8.

Having thus, described my invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by In testimony whereof I have signed my name v
